What's up with my Fiat 500?

I had my Fiat 500 looked at as engine and stop-start lights come on. The garage said it needed new battery which was replaced. Not even a day later both lights are back on. They said the alternator is fine. So what is the problem?

Hi Marnie,

It could well be that the wrong type of battery was used, so perhaps take a look at that, but there can be many other reasons causing the stop-start system to give an error. Really, it needs to be plugged into a diagnostic computer to get to the bottom of the problem. A good mechanic should be able to do that for you.
